Childless Man(the sadness I feel)

Hello and welcome,this is a very personal post,that touches me dearly ..

The reality of being a childless man at 50 years old.

yes i never had any children of my own,I helped raised a son from my first wife from the age of 7.Yes we are still a family even after his mother has passed away..

After my first wife passed I thought of the desire at 38 at the time if to have kids.I dated a woman for while who wanted kids and we did try.But never had any..after few years we did not work out and I met another woman who’s kids were grown but had baby grandchildren ..Which the grandkids filled a void for a while , but the heart ache of never having my own daughter always haunted me..

Many nights I actually have tears that I wanted to be a father and a dad,I wanted a daughter something bad..This day and I have so much heart ache and depression for never having my own kids..Yes people it does hurt so bad even to a man..And I’m to tell you it’s true honest depression ..

Congratulations on finding the courage to open yourself up this way, I admire and respect you my brother.
I say this because I too am in my 50’s and my wife and I are also childless, it is only now that I am allowing myself to grieve, to let out all the emotion that I held deep inside for many years.
I am part of the World Childless Week organisation that is trying to reach out to all those childless around the world, giving them a safe place to express their emotions and find comfort with others that understand.http://www.worldchildlessweek.net
I am a lonely voice for us males and am always looking for my childless brothers to join me in giving us a voice in this community we didn’t really want to belong too.
Warmest Regards
